3 Doors Down — Be Somebody

[Verse 1] The shades gone up Mothers staring down She don't know where he's been Or how long he's been out [Pre-Chorus] She said, "Boy, I'm tired of waiting up while you're out with your friends" He said, "Mom, I'm trying and I'm living my life the best way that I can" [Chorus] 'Cause I'm trying to be somebody I'm not trying to be somebody else This life is mine I'm living Don't you know me? I won't ever let you down [Verse 2] The day has come The sun is moving on She don't know where he'll go Or when he's coming home [Pre-Chorus] She said, "Son, take care, don't let your dreams get too far out of sight" He said, "I love you. Now, don't worry about me, you know I'll be fine" [Chorus] 'Cause I'm trying to be somebody I'm not trying to be somebody else This life is mine I'm living Don't you know me? I won't ever let you down No I'm not trying to be somebody else Don't you know me? I won't ever let you I won't ever let you [Bridge] What they say What they know What they think won't ever bring me down This life is mine And I am my own [Interlude] I'm trying to be somebody I'm not trying to be somebody else This life is mine I lead Don't you know me? [Chorus] I'm trying to be somebody I'm not trying to be somebody else This life is mine I'm living Don't you know me? I won't ever let you down [Outro] I'm not trying to be somebody else Don't you know me? I won't ever let you down I won't be nobody else This life is mine and I am my own
